2021-12-22 It’s a Numbers Nerding Kind of Day
Yesterday I let myself become immersed in a total left-brain organizational task. It was very satisfying. I did some folder/file shuffling and a little accounting with a focus on the poems I’ve published to date. I’m in a numbers kind of mood. I guess that’s what I do when I fail to write. I’ve been…

2021-12-11 Hunting for Gratitude
That’s it. I’ve officially lost my mojo. I’ve attended three generative writing events this week and have failed in a big way to write anything (new). Everything is a rehash of something I’ve already written or just plain garbage nonsense. And I think I’m just going to give up trying and see what that life…

2021-12-09 Random This and That Thursday ✍🏻💊📖🤷♀️…
Today I’ve been working on a variety of things and it’s mostly good and I haven’t even had to leave my couch and that’s fine with me. It’s mostly been communications related but I did take a wee break in the middle of the day to join a creative writing session. That was nice though…

2021-12-05 Oh.. hello December. When did you get here? 🗓
Five whole days ago?! Damn!! I think I’m in denial that winter is knocking on the door and Christmas is only 3 weeks away! 😱 I’ve also been hiding away because I’ve been feeling physically unwell for days and I was overcompensating by trying to take things easy on myself. I kind of suspected it…

Yes.. it’s THAT day again and I’m feeling pretty good. Let’s agree to set aside the sketchy origin of this holiday and instead focus on gratitude, spending quality time with people (hopefully), and…. FOOD!! One meager year ago we were in isolation. No meetups or visits with friends and family and for sure no big…

2021-11-24 Which Way is Up + 10 Reasons Why Tuesday was Tops Compared to Monday
I swear the Universe is conspiring to mix me around something fierce in a way that leaves me not knowing which direction is up. Two days ago I was the hot mess I often complain about being here in this semi-anonymous space. Yesterday was like the exact opposite. I felt great and for no damn…

2021-11-11 Doing Something is Better than Doing Nothing
My husband Jim had said several days ago that I should “wait a week” and see how I feel. Ok. Two nights ago I talked with him again and he’s come around to my line of thinking. He said that he will support me in my decision to see a counselor/therapist. Honestly, I don’t even…

2021-11-09 Do I Need Help? 🤔
About a month ago, before I went on my vacation to Oregon I finally told my husband Jim I was serious about finding a counselor or therapist. I elaborated on my reasoning and the thought processes that led me to the conclusion that therapy could help me. I clearly have issues I’m struggling with that…
